I have this vague, fuzzy premise I want to convey, and I sit down at the keys and I could not tell you what the next token was gonna be in advance.
The tokens just come out.
Yeah.
I'm
astonished how the similarities seem so great.
And this is also why I don't have any trouble at all recognizing these breakthroughs of creativity that I've seen with my own eyes that AI is capable of right now.
Because my creative moments come through the same kind of next token prediction with a bit of temperature sprinkled in for random effect.
I'm already seeing human like concepts of consciousness.
This is what to me this
remarkable situation as you say, you give it this vague, fuzzy intent and somehow it knows exactly what you mean.
Or even better, it improves upon what you said and delivers what you really wanted that you could not articulate yourself.
If that's not glimmers of consciousness, what is?
This is one of the I think it was uh an interview with Sutton or uh maybe one of the other original guys talking about this sense that intelligence is perhaps not as constrained just to to this specific one spot.
No, it's the interaction.
It's the weights.
And I don't know, whatever's true.
What I can observe is that
It feels close enough, or not even close enough.
Identical to the appreciation I have for other forms of consciousness, mostly human.
And this is one the reasons it's so delightful to work with.
